Teams & Riders Nairo Quintana discussion thread

[Gigs_98]

Nairo was indeed pretty good today, but he also was great in the PV TT and not that great on the other stages. Lets wait how he does on the mtf's.
Froome however didnt look good at all especially since I thought he wants to focus more on TT's again
Nevertheless such a short prologue definitely doesnt tell that much but at least I think Quintana wont lose as much in the tdf ITT as many people think.

Itzulia isn't really his cup of tea though, most of the time at least. Most climbs are too short for his liking. Though he has improved, it'll never be his fave.

Morgins, Ollon is where it's at.

Froome was really bad on the descent, like Geniez at the rainy Giro stage (it was the Vicenza stage, right?) bad. We probably shouldn't use this Prologue to gauge his TT skills, so I'm pretty curious about the result of stage 3, that should show us their respective levels.

After the prologue Nairo is the main favourite. He showed he has the form today. Of course it doesn't mean he is certain to win, just more likely than others.

Very much looking forward to tomorrow stage
I hope he drops Froome like a stone in TdR

Beautiful victory, well deserved.

Stop trolling.
What a loser. He should go ask the jury to reverse the decision if he has any class or decency. Idiotic decision and a hollow victory. Hopefully Zaka crushes him tomorrow.

Perdidi, exlamivi, vici

Re:

He already lost me on 2015 Tour by being over-defensive.He is usually conservative.
And don't come up with Val Martello
He only got the gap because there was misinformation on the others.
He probably would still have won the Giro though.

I'm not exactly the biggest Movistar fan out there, but even I can see that Quintana was the legit winner today.

Wheelsucker and now also a whiny little *** ?

Re: Re:

Great being such a horrible sprinter. If you complain enough it might earn you a few wins!

 

[Red Rick]

He makes me miss Andy Schleck

 

[LaFlorecita]

As blackmamba said, he's a whiner and a wheelsucker and might I also add incredibly uncharismatic. I can't believe I used to be a fan of this loser

You Contador fans really do deserve all the hate you get in this forum...

Re:

At the very least Andy had more charisma than a dead tortoise.

Since you wasnt bright enough to understand the irony in my comment I will explain it to you... People cant blame Quintana for the decision of the jury thats ***, its not his fault that the jury made the wrong decision.

As does Quintana

And that's all you care about in pro-cycling, right? Charisma...

I suggest you log off. Because this meltdown, while hilarious, isn't normal behaviour tbh.

Lol, what meltdown? I am just annoyed Zaka got robbed of his victory and Quintana fans celebrating it is quite pathetic.
But go ahead, I know it's easier to just treat me like an emotional wreck than to address my points

You are incredible, Flo. Truly incredible.

I guess all this bullsh*t really comes from the fact that Quintana has beaten Contador regularly over the last couple of seasons and is widely being considered as the world's best climber. You simply can't stand that
